Atletico Madrid hosts Real Sociedad in the first match of the 30th round in La Liga.
Atletico is coming after a good solid 2-0 away win vs. Cordoba over the weekend … a match in which Atletico played smart football and had a clear grip on the three points after only 45th minutes. They let Cordoba hold the ball, but never gave them real chances. Hosts climbed back to the 3rd place after Valencia only got a draw and they need to keep winning in order to keep it … it’s the last place that takes you directly to Champions League, so it’s very important.
Atletico Madrid lineup: Oblak – Gamez, Giminez, Godin, Siqueira – Tiago, Koke, Suarez, Turan – Griezmann, Torres

For a team that has one of the worst records away from home in La Liga, Real Sociedad did very well to record a 1-1 draw at Malaga. This sees Real gain 10 points in the last 4 matches, an extraordinary performance for a team that has not got anything left to fight for in this campaign. It has to be said that the strongest opponent they met in these 4 matches was Malaga … but still visitors are playing good football and are in very good spirits.
Real Sociedad lineup: Rulli – Martinez, Yuri, Ansotegui, Zaldua – Bergara, Prieto, Canales, Pardo, Castro – Agirretxe
Atletico really needs to win games like this at home, especially with Champions League football coming up soon (when they might need to rotate the lineups in La Liga). Home court advantage and quality should do the difference here … Atletico is so strong at home and Sociedad is totally futile on the road (despite their draw at Malaga). Two games away from home in just a few days should be too much for Sociedad … especially with an opponent like Atletico. My tip will be Atletico to win and cover a 1,25 goal asian handicap. Correct score prediction: Atletico Madrid – Real Sociedad 2-0.
Pick: Atletico Madrid (-1,25 Asian Handicap)
